Call of Duty 4 Gripes

That's how Call of Duty is. It's scripted. Are you supposed to enter a warzone with all the enemies already there, and then they all run around trying to flank you? No, they're going to stay behind cover. And the automatic machine guns? The video clearly showed it was not a bug, they were entirely meant to be unmanned because the developers didn't bother programming someone to be using them. They aren't supposed to be killable.

Yea on PS3 i dont think i seen these auto machine guns

The sniper mission i must agree is the best mission in the game. I like the ending as well! The multiplayer is what i think makes the game great. The ranking system hopefully will be tweaked when they release the new maps, which is hopefully soon because soon i will be going on 20 Kill streak rampages

I'm not finished yet (just got the game last night), I kinda liked the AC130 gunship mission just for kicks, although seperating friendlies from foe was a little difficult at times.

The auto mg's, we talked about? Well , ya it's clear they (programmers) just wanted the impression of withering fire (unstoppable, for w/e reasons...endless supply of replacement gunners?)..so why bother programming them, with all the extra code required.

I think I'm one mission pass the nuke episode..how many missions left?

Yea i think u got like 3-5 missions left mayb more check ign.com strategy guide. Yea the C130 mission is deff one of my favs but i had to play it over a few times due to the thing u mentioned. The second to last mission is the sniper mission...one of the BEST if not the BEST mission in the game. What console did u buy it 4???

PC. I'm running it on my now 2.4 y.o. socket 939 3500+ with 1Gb OZC Premium DDR400 and a 7800GT 512Mb. My res is at 1280x1024 but with most other settings at low or medium on a few. Runnings pretty good and that's without any hardcore config tweaks yet, which I plan to do tonight. (need those for mplayer anyways).

How are things in mp land? Are there still severs running this?

Lol mp u mean multi-player???

They are damn fun the only reason why i play the game still. I just beat it recently cuzz of all the talk about it and wanted 2 c wat the end was like. But yea the servers suck sometimes cuz they close suddenly during b4 and after a match begins but its worth it to keep trying...i went on a 15 kill streak which is my best so far and i just started playin again recently...cant wait for the new maps and tweaks

Are there still servers running it? Why would you even ask that? It's one of the biggest multiplayer releases in a while and you think people would already have stopped playing it?

I've heard of Xbox Live problems and how it's going to need an update, but I haven't heard of any problems for PC.

Wow, that unmanned auto video just made me not EVER want to buy that game over any other one...

What console is that game for?

Snack i think u misunderstood me!!!

I play COD4 on my PS3 and the game servers are not the greatest but regardless ppl are always on playing. I doubt regardless of the play quality ppl will always be online playing!

MGS4 is coming out in June and it seems they might have an online community so that has the potential to effect the COD4 gamers.

I don't think MGS4 will have online play, and if it does, I doubt it will be enough to permanently draw away too many players.

What happens when SOCOM finally comes out?

if they time their map pack release right then it will be hard 2 take away from all that though

I installed COD4 on my pc last night.
Running it at 1400x900 all settings max(ish) AA on 4x. (using HD3870 512mb)
Still doesn't look as sweet as our xbox360 version does on the 32" hdtv on 720p.
But surely it should do, even though its on a smaller screen.

The only real advantage to the PC version over the 360 version (yes I have both) is the controls. I have a much easier time using the mouse and keyboard to play than the controller.

Yeah, i prefer the mouse/keyboard combo. But am imissing something here?
HDtv @ 720 x 1080 ?? Is that right
PC @ 1440 x 900, surely the pc should look better, no?

If i plugged my pc into the HDtv (which has a vga port btw) i'd have to play on a higher resolution which would then lag like hell.

Where does the difference lie?

I dont think ur resolution for yor TV is right mine is 1080I 16:9 is the display resolution i believe. So it seems like your HDTV resolution needs to be configured correctly for your PC cards settings...or something of the sort.

Sorry, maybe i didn't explain myself fully. What i'm asking is:
if my hdtv plays xbox 360 games at 720p, why does it look better than my pc that plays game on a 19" tft at 1400x900?
What is the full h x v resolution of the xbox360 720p x ????
I assumed 1400 x 900 (16:10) would be better than 720 x {whatever} (16:9)

Can anyone enlighten me please?

720 stands for the vertical resolution, not horizontal. 720p is 1280x720.

Hey OP what command did you type to ghost up to the un-man gun area? and aren'tt that part you suppose to find cover and let the jet fighter rocket em to death?

I agree with ya on the annoyance lists tehe, they should make it like Cyrsis where we could freely roam to access to unlock new objectives.

imo the SP part was like an awesome teaser to show off their game engine and their well optimized graphic and gameplay pack.

The real ****zor is the MP.

Here some gameplay footage i took a while back on my 2 year old PC tehe

Oo ok so u have a flat panel for your PC and your XBOX 360 resoltion looks better on your HDTV. Well is your LCD monitor a HD Flat? If so whats its best resolution? What brand and model# ?

Havent played it yet.. but il get it soon looks like something i should try
